Concept Art Spawns Another Fan Tribute

Lars has taken one of the cool Feng Zhu concept art sketches and rendered it into a more three dimensional ship. The subject is a a large Confed "multi-role" vessel designed for an unproduced Wing Commander game. He's decided to describe it as a possible long range recon craft. Although Lars is pretty humble about his recreation of the design, I actually think it's quite true to the original. You can help provide feedback and read about the model's back story at Crius.net.

I know the model isn't a 100% replica of Feng's art. When I have time again I will work on that, but for now I think it will stay like this.

Wing Commander IV Storyboards - Scene 248

Scene 248 is what happens if you didn't rescue Catscratch--another sad burial at space. Either way, don't expect to see Catscratch appearing in many more cut scenes.

These storyboard images were recovered from a backup CD containing materials belonging to Origin's web development team. They were dated November 17, 1995 and were likely planned for a never-completed web feature.
